Zac Efron seriously went down in the hottie stakes this year when he appeared to sport Bieber-inspired blond streaks in his hair.

And while on Jimmy Kimmel this week, the presenter didn't shy away from asking Zac what on earth he was thinking.

The actor tried to play it cool by saying his two-tone hair do' was "having a moment."

However, not one to back down, Jimmy pushed him to get a straight answer, and Zac admitted that he actually had to do it for the new Baywatch movie which he stars in.

But, he further explained that he actually didn't have to have to hair do' at all since producers recently told him that re-shoots wouldn't be taking place for another year and he didn't need to commit to the style until 2017.

Oh well, at least there's an explanation!

Kim Kardashian probably has one of the most famous bums on the planet – but is it all just bum pads?!

While leaving her sister Khloe's birthday party last Monday, pictures were snapped of the star, and it looked like she was wearing pads in her underwear. Eek!

To be honest, she could have just been wearing a pair of ill-fitting spanx, but some fans were quick to point out the mishap:

Ah well, we all have our little secrets!

If you're a Walking Dead fan then you'll probably have wondered what it would be like living in a zombie apocolapse – and if you'd survive.

Well, Universal Studios was invaded by zombies on Tuesday as it unveiled it's latest attraction, The Walking Dead, based on the hit TV show.

The walk-through scare ride, which opens next week, begins just like the show, in a hospital and then takes you to various places where there will be actors playing survivors as well as zombies interacting the theme park-goers.

Ross Marquand, who plays Aaron in the series said: "I think people have a morbid curiosity about what the apocalypse would be like and how they would react to it, so they put themselves in different characters.

"And it's also a show about perseverance at the end of the day, you know, how you maintain hope and how you survive after everything you have lost or people you love have been killed off."

We are SO there.

Just when you thought your sixth class confirmation grin was the worst thing ever captured on camera, up pops Chris Martin and his incredibly unfortunate Glastonbury growl.

That's right; Chris Martin – he who can do no wrong – did something wrong.

He only went and got super passionate during his set and accidentally made it look like he was being reeled in by an invisible fish hook

And yet despite this, the Coldplay frontman soldiered on and gave an incredible performance at one of the year's most highly-anticipated music festivals.

But, the internet still couldn't let him off – just this once – and instead went to TOWN on poor ol' Chris and his bandy-looking, sideways mouth.

Doing what any upstanding millennial would do, people rushed to share the snap on social media while insisting they wouldn't sleep for weeks after this one.

Ladies, we give you Chris Martin…

DCU is taking a major leap and is going to re-name half of its buildings after inspirational women.

The news was revealed today at Inspirefest by the research director of DCU, Dr Christine Loscher.

“The computing building will now be named after Kathleen McNulty… there will be a photo and a description of what she’s done,” Christine explained.

Kathleen McNulty was one of the original programmers of the first general-purpose electronic digital computer. Born in the Creeslough area of Donegal, she earned a degree in mathematics in 1942, and subsequently went on to work with the US Army. Thankfully today you can use calculators to help you out!

Another women in which a building will be named after is Kathleen Lonsdale from Kildare. Ms Lonsdale made important investigations into natural and synthetic diamonds and the mechanism of diamond synthesis. In 1966, a rare hexagonal diamond was named ‘lonsdaleitein’ in her honour.

Dr Loscher said that these kinds of changes are extremely important in today’s society, as we all need to realise how amazing these women were with their achievements.

“A student needs to come into a university and see the recognition for women who do brilliant things and see that it’s possible [to achieve the same].”

Malia Obama is quickly becoming one of our major girl crushes.

Her style is the envy of us all here at SHEmazing! HQ, plus she lives in the White House, and that is – in fairness – pretty sweet.

Having recently being accepted into Harvard (How fancy), Malia has decided to take a gap year before embarking on her college journey in 2017.

And how does the daughter of the American President spend a gap year? Interning in Spain…obvs.

According to ABC Spain, Malia has locked down an internship in the U.S Embassy in Madrid. 

The Obama family recently visited Cuba, where Malia had a chance to show of her flair for the Spanish language, even acting as an unofficial translator for her Dad. 

Malia, 18, along with her sister Sasha, were named two of "The 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014" by TIME magazine.

The sisters have been complimented by the press numerous times for their amazing style, and manner as children of the world's most powerful man. 

We are expecting really great things from these Obama women, and who knows, one of them could run for president in the years to come! 

Buena suerte (good luck), Malia!

Margot Robbie is an absolute stunner, and – we'll be honest here – we might even hate her if she wasn't so damn sound.

And yet in spite of her head-turning Hollywood looks, poor ol' Margot didn't escape puberty without going through that same uber-awkward phase most of us endured.

While appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week, the Wolf of Wall Street actress was forced to take a trip down memory lane, and we gotta say, it's absolutely made our day.

A self-confessed Harry Potter fanatic, Margot gushed over the fact her current director, David Yates, had directed a number of the Hogwarts movies.

Clearly unaware she had walked directly into Jimmy's trap, Margot was forced to recall her less – shall we say – 'polished' days.

With the cheesy grin we all produced when snapped out of nowhere as a teen, Margot looked bloody delighted to be getting her chill on with Harry and the gang, and it's made us love her all the more.

Oh, and the fact she wore glasses when she didn't even NEED them? Margot, take a bow.

Speed up to 1.31 for the golden moment…

Monica Geller Courteney Cox is in Ireland!

The actress has touched down on our fair green isle with her partner Johnny McDaid as she joins Bear Grylls in the wilderness.

Court shared a picture with her man which saw them standing on a balcony with the sea in the background.

She captioned the post: "In Ireland as my love @johnnymcdaid sends me off into the wilderness for the @beargrylls show. It's already raining!"

(Try living here 24/7 Courteney!)

The Friends star and Johnny were meant to marry in Ireland last year, but called off their wedding only weeks beforehand.

Hopefully she'll fall back in love with our country as she travels it with Bear!

In the blink of an eye, Lindsay Lohan went from Hollywood royalty at the height of her Mean Girls success to a Tinsletown pariah as evidence of addictions became more and more obvious.

In what looked like a classic case of a child star's downward spiral, Lindsay was blacklisted by production companies and found herself up in court on multiple occasions.

It looks, however, like the 29-year-old actress may be finally turning her life around and tells Vanity Fair that she's positive about her future, and accepts that she went down the wrong path.

"I can't turn back time," she accepts. "But if I could, I would have listened more to my mother and gone back home to N.Y.C. earlier in life and chosen my friends more wisely,"

While insisting that working with and having her own children awaits her, she is currently focussing all her attention on the creative process.

"I am in the process of writing a book, and I am very excited to share my personal experiences in life and how to overcome obstacles," she said. "I hope that my words will connect with those who need some guidance when [or] if they are in a tough place," she continued.

Reflecting on those years when the industry feared for her health and wellbeing, Lindsay says she would tell her younger self to 'put yourself first, and just breathe'.

"Be happy and always be grateful for the moment you have in front of you. Be here, now," she added.

Ladies, it looks like we have a brand-new Lindsay on our hands!

Lady Gaga is making headlines once again, and this time she has been banned from China…yes BANNED! 

Gaga met with the Dalai Lama, an exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, last week at the at the US Conference of Mayors in Indianapolis.

According to The Guardian, the pair discussed a number of topics, including yoga, charitable giving and mental health.

The Poker Face singer, who has an insane following of 17.5 million on instagram, then shared an image of herself and the Buddhist Monk on Monday in a move which sparked outrage in Bejing.

The Dalai Lama, who seeks autonomy for his Tibetan homeland, was exiled in 1959 after a failed attempt at an uprising against Chinese rule.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei spoke about the Dalai Lama, and his meeting with Lady Gaga, saying "There is a broad consensus internationally about what kind of person the Dalai Lama is and what he does internationally."

Commenting on her meeting with the world famous Monk on Instagram, Gaga wrote ' We must stay unified. Be Kind not only to your friends, but to your enemies.'

But it doesn't look like everyone is on the same page as the star.

"After the relevant incident happened, if you look at comments on the Chinese Internet, their anger has welled up," Hong Lei went on to say.

The social media backlash was evident, with one follower commenting on the picture saying 'You don't love your Chinese fans at all. Maybe you will lose all of them.'

'This old man is a cheater, he wanted to split China,GAGA don't trust him' another fan went on to say. 

Following her meeting with the religious leader, the Communist party in China announced that Lady Gaga was to be put on a blacklist, and her entire repertoire was to be banned from the Chinese mainland.

Seems a bit extreme lads? 

While Gaga has never played a gig in mainland China, she has a massive fan base there, and has played in Hong Kong and Macau.

Ever wondered why you have that voice inside your head telling you to eat the last slice of cake? Or pushing you to hide the glass vase your broke on your mam?

Well, as it turns out, our genes may be to blame for all the naughty things we got up to over the years.

In a breakthrough discovery, scientists have discovered a mathematical model which determines the likelihood of you turning out good or bad.

The researchers at the University of Exeter studied the behaviour of various colony-living creatures, such as bees.

By looking at their models, they were able to better explain that genes have a play in whether you only look out for yourself, or look out for others.

The scientists also took into account environmental factors which play a MAJOR part – but depending on the genetic variations we're all born with, they found that individuals are pre-programmed with instructions on how to behave.

According to DNA India, up until now, scientists have been unable to fully explain how ‘genetic polymorphism*’ plays into the behaviour of individuals.

"Social evolution theory hasn't previously addressed genetic polymorphism," said Stockholm University's Professor Olof Leimar, who lead the study. "We have developed a model that allows us to explore this within a general framework alongside other behavioural influences.”

So all of them naughty things you did aren't really your fault, right?!

 

*Polymorphism: the presence of genetic variation within a population, upon which natural selection can operate.
